“I’m a petulant dork with both a limited attention span and cognitive ability and I only find interesting those things which I find interesting, and do not consider what other people find interesting to be worth my time.”

I was literally just watching the video for “High Hopes” on YouTube, then this post popped up. Must be a glitch in the Matrix.

Ali, I can explain it. Many people decided to steal mp3’s, and as a result the record companies are now making 10% of the money they made back in the 80’s (adjusted for inflation), so they don’t have money to “develop” bands like Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis, etc. They can’t afford to sign someone unless they know they’re going to make money. That’s what happened. Music will catch up, though. There are probably some great things being done in bedroom studios and garages that we’re just not hearing yet. The new Music Biz lacks some good filters right now to let the good stuff rise to the top. But it will eventually happen.
